Chapter 257 Why Are You Be Like This (2/2)

She knew exactly how hard Lucian's life was, but she also couldn't help but throw a tantrum on him.

Soon, Lucian returned with Iris' portrait with him.

Amelia snatched it away and removed the black cloth wrapping around it. Iris was still there with a gentle smile on her lips.

Without a care of Lucian's presence, she held Iris' portrait tightly in her arms. Like a lost child, she began to sniffle, fighting the urge to sob.

Remembering that they were in public, she wiped her tears and stood up abruptly. She looked down at him and cried, ”Don't show my mother's photo to anyone. It is an insult!”

Amelia recalled the words she overheard from Fannie earlier. She remembered the fury that surged in her that time. But when she thought about how she still couldn't protect her mother that time, she sighed feebly.
